An alter ego is described as a second self[1], which is believed to be distinct from a person's normal or original personality.[2] Alter egos are used by numerous performing artists who use stage or screen personae both to entertain audiences and to explore new identities for themselves[2] but usually, people who have been deprived or who haven't been able to do what they always wanted to do in life have an alter ego.[3]
Onika Tanya Maraj has created alter egos by 2 ways. In 1 side the alter ego Cookie was created because of her parents constant fights and arguments[4], and, on the other side, she created alter egos like Rosa in an interview because of the Spanish origins of the host, George Lopez (Rosa is a Spanish alter ego).[5] It is still debated if the name Nicki Minaj is a stage name or is another alter ego.
